On September 10, 2025, the protocol suffered a critical security incident in which an attacker compromised the owner's private key, used the transferOwnership function to seize contract control, and upgraded the proxy contract to a malicious version, draining approximately $420,000 from both the protocol and user-approved accounts. Following the exploit, the protocol's total value locked collapsed to near zero and no verified public post-mortem or recovery plan has been identified.
